@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy I still don't think that's quite right, although I agree that Asians did lose a key battle because Napolitano is no longer concerned about white support. But it's grades, more than SAT scores, that hurts whites vis a vis Asians.

@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy It was the post 1997 change, when the UCs made GPA 75% of the admission decision, that Asians dominated over whites. Meanwhile, blacks and Hispanics in majority minority schools, had GPAs they could never achieve in diverse high schools. educationrealist.wordpress.com/2017/08/01/gpa…

@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy I would argue that whites simply have quit trying to get into the UCs. Unless their kid has a 4.0 in their sophomore year, there's no point in even trying. It's gotten worse since 2006, after the second SAT change, when they reduced the weight of the subject tests.....

@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy Several Asian language Subject tests, coupled with the fact that an 800 Math 2c test is a matter of coding the TI84, made it an easy matter for native Asian speakers to submit a double 800 on those, and this far outdid the expected advantage of the Spanish test 800.

@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy That's why, I think, the UC completely flipped on the Subject tests. After first requiring 3, then mandating 2 but making it any choice, they quit using them entirely in 2015. Not to help out whites, but because it was making it impossible for them to discriminate against Asians

@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy Whites don't do as well as Asians since the SAT has completely been ruined in the useless scumbag Coleman era but if the UC weren't actively discriminating in favor of blacks and Hispanics on grades, it wouldn't matter.

@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy Bottom line: most whites have given up. I suspect you'd find that a lot of them go to UNLV and UN Reno, along with Arizona State.

But look at the bright side: within a few years, whites will be actively against any tax dollars going to support the UCs.

@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy Here's something I wrote back in 2013 explaining the history from 1997 to 2005.

@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy Something I don't think gets enough attention: SAT Subject test scoring is skewed so unfairly it makes your teeth hurt. They are good tests. But foreign language tests for native speakers screw the scores completely, and the hardest test (English Lit) has the toughest scoring.

@Steve_Sailer @CharlesNegy To quote me: "I suspect you'd find that a lot of them go to UNLV and UN Reno, along with Arizona State."
